Two young brothers - who died in a crash in Wolverhampton - have been named as 10-year-old Sanjay and 23-month-old Pawanveer Singh.
The brothers and their mother - who are from Dudley - were in their BMW on Birmingham New Road when they were hit by an Audi S3 at around 8.45pm.
The driver of the Audi left the scene.
A 31-year-old man from a third car, a Bentley, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been released pending further investigation.
The family of Sanjay and Pawanveer have paid this tribute: “Our family are grieving over the tragic deaths of our two beautiful children, as well as dealing with the shock of the horrific crash.
“We appeal to the general public to come forward as witnesses in order help police find the perpetrator who fled from the scene and to bring him or her to justice.
“At this time we would appreciate some privacy and space to grieve over our precious loss.
“Your co-operation in this would be very much appreciated.”
Det Sgt Paul Hughes, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of Sanjay and Pawanveer Singh at this extremely difficult time.
“Do the right thing.”
